I think I have found out how to use Iris to remove light pollution.

I used the tutorial here: http://www.boltonastro​.org.uk/Forums/viewtop​ic.php?f=4&t=60 (external link)
I started from the Processing your image section. It is a stack of 12 lights and 11 darks.

This is my attempt at capturing the area around Sadr last night.

I know the stars are a bit oval, I left the timing on 8 seconds instead of 6 by mistake. It was taken at 1600 ISO, above the 350D's recommended. 55mm kit lens. I think the cold weather has improved the seeing conditions. If only the lights were out.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have used the method in Galactic Fool, but I found it very time consuming. I have found that Iris has a simple one step function that does both functions in one go. There is a more advanced version, but I think the way shown in that tutorial seems easy enough. I only dealt with the Gradient removal (polynomial).

I will try the other techniques once I have more time.
